For the first time ever, Maclean’s has ranked the best universities in 10 program areas—including psychology—and UBC Psychology ranks number one in Canada. Psychology is the most popular undergraduate major at UBC, with over 1800 students working toward their BA degree and over 150 studying for their BSc degree. Maclean’s used hard data provided by the academic publishing company Elsevier and their own reputation survey sent out to academics, and based on this they scored where to best study by program area.
